Living a life of values is a noble life lived. Chinmaya Mission pledge is a compilation of values required to give our life a new direction. Practicing which, we can channelize our potential and make ourselves rise above our lower tendencies. Swami Mitrananda, in his ecstasy, talks to students expounding on the pledge.

Amidst the glorious setting and background of the Himalayas and Pujya Gurudev’s Samadhi Sthal of Sidhbhari, Pujya Swami Swaroopananda gave us a rare treat of a marathon talk on the entire Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta in October 2015.

Testimony of one of the camp attendees in the form of a poem:

Some of us had a rare opportunity to listen to the entire Geeta during the Marathon camps at Sidhbari. Besides learning in depth the complete Geeta at a stretch which sometime may take years or even a lifetime, it also turned out to be a life transforming event and the most memorable moments of our life.

As we traversed through the battlefield of Kurukshetra with him, we gained insight into Arjuna’s dejection and the ‘Krishna cure’ that the Lord kindly prescribes.

It became uncanny that,

the battlefield was within us,

the opposing forces being the noble intentions seemingly few in number,

against the mighty façade of negative and defeating notions in our bosoms,

Secret of Success is a set of 7 very effective talk by Pujya Swami Swaroopananda in explaining how we should dedicate our success to the good lord with a lot of stories and how we should invoke devotion which will ultimately take us to the positive mode and will come out positively in all that we try and do.

Life becomes a big question when suddenly we are faced with situations that prompt us to deep thinking on destiny and self-effort. Newton found it when it fell on his head. Swami Swaroopananda answers brilliantly this oft repeated question and gently guides us about grace of god and if and how one can change the course of one’s destiny.

Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda made it a priority to revive the young generation of Indians who were drifting through life without any clear goals, vision or direction. He believed that growth of the newly independent India could only be achieved by a motivated and clear-headed generation of youngsters. In order to inspire the youngsters of India and show them the possibilities of a nobler life, Gurudev delivered a series of fiery 10-minute talks on All India Radio, based on the Bhagavad-gita. He gave this ancient wisdom a contemporary context and presented in a form that was palatable and practical to the modern youngsters. Although delivered in the 1960s, these teachings are as relevant, fresh and inspiring today as they were 40 years ago.

Swami Chinmayananda, pioneered the art of conveying sublime knowledge intricately wrapped in Sanskrit scripture through the medium of English discourse and commentary. On realising the true purpose of life he worked tirelessly and with tremendous energy for more than four decades to spread the message of Vedanta. A great writer, leader, patriot and spiritual giant, he brought about a spiritual renaissance of the Vedantic heritage to the world. A powerful orator with his own brand of wit and humour; he paints vividly the wisdom of the ages in front of us. His commentary on the Bhagavad Geeta and Upanishads are considered one of the best ever for their clarity and crisp logic.
